For My Baby Johann

3/14/2012
Dear Johann Paolo,
Hello there my baby! Right now, we are on our 32nd week. Four more weeks to go & mommy will already see you. Your dad & Ate Mishka are excited to see you too:) As you know, mommy is on bed rest so you will be well. It’s ok I’m not complaining, I actually like the thought of having quiet moments with you & singing & reading for you like what I did to your Ate Mishka. I believe that God put me in this situation so I can nurture you physically, emotionally & spiritually. Before my bed rest, mommy was very stressed with work so I guess this is God’s way of telling me to slow down & enjoy you while you are totally dependent on me. You know what, we named you after a holy person, Blessed Pope John Paul II, whom your father & I admired so much. All of us prayed to have you, your Ate Mishka was the first to know that you are coming even if mom doesn’t know yet. She also told me that you will be a boy and indeed God answered her prayer:)
Tomorrow is mommy’s 35th birthday. My only wish is to hear mass so we will be blessed & I can pray for your good health. Mommy may be in a difficult situation right now but I know that God is with us & a lot of people are praying for us. I just want you to know that I’ll do everything for you. Your dad & I will try our best to provide you a good future & better life. Mom cannot always protect you but rest assured that I will prepare you for the realities of life. The odds are very small that you will have a younger brother or sister. So you & Ate MIshka must love & care for each other always.
Johann, enjoy your stay in mommy’s womb. We are expecting you on April 18, 2012. Don’t worry we are preparing everything for you. Your every kick is an assurance that you are doing ok in mommy’s tummy. Your dad, Ate Mishka & you are truly God’s gifts to me & I will treasure you all as long as I live. I love you my son & I am sooo excited to hold you in my arms.
Loving you always,
Mommy Jhett

AT A CROSSROAD

Right now, I'm at a crossroad in my life. I'm discerning which path to choose. I want to do a lot of things but I'm not sure which among my options will I really excel at. A certain event in my life made me realize that I need to move out and do something else. This has been my comfort zone for almost 10 years but I know that in order to grow and expand my horizon, I need to move somewhere else. I'm just not sure which path will it be. I'm discerning at this point. I'm praying hard to God to lead me to the right direction.

Silent Musings

I've been doing some soul-searching the past few months. My life has been a roller-coaster ride lately, something new and unexpected is always happening. I almost lost my focus. Good thing, I have family & friends who continue to pray for me. Life is never easy, that's one thing I learned in my 33 years of existence here on earth. I also know that God will always be by your side no matter what but my faith still falters every now and then. I'm really a worrier and it has gotten me through a lot of unnecessary stress. Now, I decided to really just let go & let God lead my life. There's really nothing I can do but wait & see what His real plan for me is. I may be experiencing a quarter-life crisis in my life, let it be. I know that my Big God will see me through this.

blessings

On my birthday last March, somebody told me that good things will come my way and my Boracay trip with my hubby is just the start of it. I think that started to give me hope and I actually looked forward to the good things that will come way. I truly feel that I have been really blessed...my strong bond with God (who I know will never leave nor forsake me)my good relationship with my husband, my awfully cute, smart & funny daughter, my siblings who have been so supportive,my improving relationship with my mother, etc. True enough, God has blessed me more, I was given a nice profit sharing from our company (I was able to treat my family, which I was not able to do for the longest time) and I was given a promotion! I actually thanked our President for the nice profit sharing & promotion and he replied to me saying, "Thank you for the good work." I was really touched. Thank you Lord for all Your graces, my words are not enough to express the gratitude that I feel right now:)

fear

God spoke to me today and told me to count MY blessings and not other people's blessings...
